anattereet nerves.
Uany people .complain of shattered
nerves. Very frequently this malady
iB caused by the overwork of body and
brain. Bad sleep or no sleep at all is
one of the prominent symptoms of
shattered nerves. A weary and yet
restless feeling during waking hours,
both day and nfght, is a similar symp
tom. Excessive irritability, instead of
zood tempei, is another symptom. A
strong tendency to think the worst of
tverything, rather than the best, is
unother symptom. A with for death,
rather than life, with such a state of
.body and mind, is not uncommon. A
strong idea that we are somehow
wrong and cannot got right, is another
symptom. Fear and foreboding of
ovil is another. What we have Indi
cated as the symptoms will indicate
that the mind has a great deal to do
with all such cases. Frequently, says
the New York Weekly, it is the mere
Idea, strongly fixed, which works all
the harm. If the mind could banish
its depression, the same nerves that
have been set down as hopelessly
shattered may turn out to be quite
sound and good by the act of changed
thought. Hut to do good work one
must have adequate rest. More and
better work is done by a good sleeper,
who daily lakes at least eight hours of
soiled sleep, than by one who forces
himseir to do less. Hut even if this
were not true, it would still be certain
that it is ruinous to life's grandest
ends to deny the nerve-system that
on which its healthy state depends.
Romance got something of a set
back the other day when, from the
steps of the Itoyal Exchange of Lon
don, the common crier made proclama
tion that after August 1 the doubloon
would cease to be legal tender in the
West Indies, including British Guiana.
Now the boy who finds a pirate's bur
ied treasure will have to dispose of his
Spanish gold at its bullion value. It
may console him to know that for
some years the doubloon has not bfen
the precious thing it was. In 1730,
and for a century after, it was worth.
eight dollars, "more or less;" but the
current doubloon is worth only about
five dolllaxs. It has ceased to be
coined in its native country, Spain,
and now it will soon become unpopu
lar In the West Indies, where it has
figured In a mixed circulation em
bracing British, United States and
Spanish coins. In the interest of ro
mance, however, the name at least
must survive. It signifies nothing
more than that the coin was double
the value of a pistole; but "doubloon"
Was never such a mouth-filling mock
ery as pieces sir eight, which sug
gests great riches, but means only
Spanish silver dollars, pieces equiva
lent to eight reals.
So far as experience goes with the
Chicago directory It is a painstaking
and truth-telling book. The publish
ers f.o to large expense to make It so.
If John Smith Is living at the corner
of Southwest street and Northwest
boulevard and rumor hath it that he is
still there and Intends to remain in
that spot for the rest of his life, do
they take it for granted that such is
the case? Not at all, declares the Chi
cago Daily News. They send a man
out to see. That man reiorts on
specially prepared blank and his work
is verified. That being the case, why
6hould we rot look on It as a truthful
book when It estimates the population
of Chicago at 2.425.000? True, the na
tional census will be along in a couple
of years nnd it may call us down, but
meanwhile we can have the pleasure
of feeling as large as possible. Will
the Hchool census please go away back
and tit down?
Some years ago Canada decided to
observe Thanksgiving in October in
stead of November, as a more cheer
ful month for the family gathering
and a more suitable time for a har
vest festival. The day of the week,
however, was Thursday, as in this
country. But now still another shift
is to be made, by which Thanksgiving
will hereafter come on Monday. This
Is in order that commercial travelers,
students away from home and busi
ness men who live remote from their
place of birth may have a longer time
for the family reunion. The Inclusion
of Sunday In the holiday may also
safeguard the sacred character of the
festhal. The Monday plan offers so
many advantages that the Canadians
are to be congratulated upon the
change, and Americans ought not to
be too conservative to adopt it.
There are three principal kinds of
mosquitoes. One disseminates yellow
fever, anther makes a specialty of
malaria and the third is a stripe
legged stinging machine that makes
Its habitation in New Jersey. Don't
stop to distinguish, but kill on sight.

With the spread of prohibition it
develops that the use of cocaine and
other stlmulstlng or narcotic drugs Is
increasing to an alarming degree.

USING UP COLD VEGETABLES.
Appetizing Dishes Can De Prepared
from Left-Overs.
Cold vegetables should never ba
thrown away. They can be used in a
number cf appetizing ways. For exam
ple, they may be rubbed through a
sieve and used for thickening soup.
Potatoes mashed very finely, or
rubbed through a wire sieve, so that
there can be no hard lumps, can be
used in such a variety of ways.
Mix a little well beaten .egg and
milk with them and pepper and salt
to flavor, iind a little grated cheese,
and bake in a well greased pie dish
in a fairly hot oven.. Mixed with the
beaten eg only, into a stiff paste,
they can be formed into balls covered
with egg and bread crumbs, and eith
er baked on a tin in the oven or. fried
till a golden brown, and so make a
most appetizing looking dish. Some
times cheese may be mixed with the
bread crumbs in which they are dipped
before baking.
Supposing there is so little as to
seem hardly worth saving, mix what
is left with an equal quantity of
flour, add a little baking powder and
enough milk to make into a paste,
form into flat cakes and bake to a del
icate brown. Buttered and served hot
they are not to be beaten.
Now potatoes and carrots can both
be sliced and sauted. They are de
licious, and the green of the parsley
that Is sprinkled over them after cook
ing makes a pretty looking dish.
STOP SQUEAKING OF HINGES.
Application of Kerosene Oil Does
Away with Annoyance.
The noises of squeaky hinges may
be stopped by putting on kerosene oil.
Brass beds may be kept in condition
by rubbing them once or twice a
month with olive oil. The oil should
be put on with a soft flannel cloth and
rubbed off almost immediately with
cheesecloth.
To destroy flies use the following:
Infusion of quassia, one pint; brown
sugar, four ounces; ground pepper,
two ounces. Mix 'this well together
and put in shallow dishes when re
quired. To destroy flies in a room take
half a teaspoonful of black pepper in
powder, one teaspoonful of cream,
mix well together. Place them in room
on plate where flies are troublesome
and they will soon disappear.
When washing floors or cleaning
windows always put a few drops oi
paraffin in the water, and this will
keep away flies, moths, and other in
sects.
Ways of Saving Work.
In the home of one woman where
single beds are in general use the
spreads are made of honeycombed ma
terial bought by the yard and hemmed.
They are easy to wash and require no
Ironing. In the same home cream
white madras is used for bedroom
window draperies because of its good
wearing qualities. It comes out ol
.he v-ash with flying colors. She trimf
them with ball fringe and does not
have them wrung very dry, and wrung
oy hand, cf course, as the wringer
would flatten the little balls. She uses
jmall rugs all through her house, save
-.he dining room, because they can be
.aken outdoors every week by the
one maid of the establishment. An
other woman saves work by having
ler luncheon brought to her sitting
oom on a tray, and another, belong
ing to a family that seems doomed to
perpetual mourning attire, supplies
her maid with very light cotton
dresses In white and black because
there is already too much gloom in
the house.
The Household Apron.
Women who do a good part of their
own work or, at least, overlook the
maid's work, should make four house
hold aprons. These keep the entire
frock clean.
They are made of dull blue, gray or
brown gingham and reach to the edge
of the gown. They are buttoned down
the back and have wide, deep sleeves
put Into deep armholes, then gathered
at the wrist to a one-inch turnover
cuff fastened with a pearl button.
They are cut V-suape at the neck,
back and front and finished with a
two-Inch flat stitched band. There
are four pockets, the two lower ones
larger than the upper ones and all
big enough to hold the things that are
needed in cleaning or dusting or wash
ing. Vanilla Custard Ice Cream.
Beat the yolks of six eggs lightly,
add to them one quart fresh milk and
one cup sugar, put in a double boiler
and cook to a smooth custard. As soon
as the mixture coats a spoon take
from the fire and strain. Then set
away to cool. When quite cold add
one pint cream, more sugar If desired
and a tablespoonful vanilla. When the
freezer Is ready for the cream to be
turned into the can add the beaten
whites of the eggs, then freeze.
If the ice cream is to be molded a
tablespoonful gelatine soaked half an
hour in a half cup milk reserved from
the custard may be added when the
custard is done.
To Clean White Kid Slippers.
To clean white kid slippers, wash
them with benzine, using a soft brush;
rinse well in fresh benzine, and while
they are wet rub a little French chalk
thoroughly into the kid. This helps
to remove the black marks the slip
pers obtained by wearing. Then put
the slippers to drj and they will
look fresh raid clean.
Patent leather shoes should never
be cleaned with blacking. They
should be wiped with a damp sponge
and polished with a soft cloth. A
little olive oil may be used occasion
ally as a dressing.
Rye Biscuits.
Put one cup of cornmeal I a bowl,
pour over it sufficient boiling water to
moisten thoroughly. When cool add
one pint of scalded milk, one table
spoonful of melted butter, one tea
spoonful of salt and two tablespoons
of sugar. When lukewarm add one
third of yeast cake softened in luke
warm water and sufficient white flour
to make a drop br.lier. Beat well and
6et abide until light and Epongy. Theo
add rye flour to make soft dough.
Flour the board well and roll out.
Whin liht bake as usual.
A Brief Review of the Happenings
Paragraph for oar
Sued for $10,C00 Damages. Mrs. J.
W. Farley has brought suit against
E. V. Hoffman, the miller at Enter
prise, for $10,000 damages, claiming
that her husband was killed in a run
away as a result of his team's fright
at an automobile driven by Mr. Hoff
man. The accident occurred on a
country road and Mr. Farley was
thrown out and injured, dying somo
weeks later.
An Estimate on Wheat. In a report
just issued by F. D. Coburn, secretary
of the State Board of Agriculture, the
wheat yield for Kansas for 1908 is es
timated at 73,606.000, which is 372,000
bushels greater than last year's yield
and 19 per cent less than the yield
of 1906. This estimate is based on the
reports of county assessors from each
of the 105 counties in the state. The
total acreage was 0.834, 800, which is
less by 217,082 than the total arecage
of the previous year.
Bank Robber Given Pardon.
Charles Arthur, sent to the penitenti
ary in November of last year under
a sentence of from five to ten years
for attempting to rob a bank, has been
relased from the penitentiary under
a commutation by Governor Ho civ
Arthur and two other attempted to
rob a bank at Hunnewell in Sumner
county, a year ago last March. They
bcred holes in the safe and set the
charge. When the dynamite exploded
Arthur was too close and the sight,
of one eye was entirely destroyed and
the other was so weakened that it is
useless. Governor Hoeh granted the
pardon so that Arthur could go to his
parents at Lou;.:ville. Ky. The of
ficials of Sumner county asked that
he be released.
$43,000 More Left Than Last Year.
It has been found that the balance
in favor of the state at th eclose of
the fiscal year 1908 was ?43,000 ahead
of the balances at the close of the
year 1907, according to the figures of
the state auditor. The accounts of
the various counties with the state
have just been checked up and com
parisons made with last year. In 1907
the balances on hand at the close of
the fiscal year were $1,057,000, while
this year they were $1,100,000.- This
condition was brought about on ac
count of the large amount of fees paid
in by various state departments dur
ing the closing months of the year.
For three months it was not neces
sary to make a draft on the county
treasuries for money to pay the state
expenses as he fe?s were sufficient
to meet all of the bills.
1.C0O Inspections by Pure Food Men.
It is eighteen months since the Kan
sas pure food law went into effect,
and since that time nearly one thous
and inspections have been made by
the pure food department. Two in
spections have been made in the
stores of each of the larger cities and
in some cases the cities have been
visited three times. By the first ol
November all towns, even those witii
one store, and forty miles from a rail
road, will have had at least one visit
from the pure food inspector. Iast
winter the inspectors confined them
selves to towns on the railroads, but
during the summer while the roads
have been good they have been doing
a great deal of driving and visiting
the small towns off the railroads. For
this reason the small towns in the
southwestern pert cf the state were
not visited until this summer. In the
eighteen months in which the law has
been in operation only about twelve
prosecutions have been brought for
violations of the law.
A Boy Drowned at Elmdale. Har
old Martin, aged 10 years,-was drown
ed in the Cottonwood river at Elm
dale bridge, five miles west of Cot
tonwood Falls. His father was fish

started to wade out to loosen it and
stepped into a deep hole. 5
Unidentified Body in Car. The body
of a stranger, evidently a tramp, who
had been muredered. was found in a
box car in the Missouri Pacifiic yards
at Arkansas City. The skull of ne
man had been crushed as with a blti..s
instrument. -No marks of Identifica
tion other than cards saying. 'I am
a crippled miner," were found on the
body. The man had been dead several
days when found.
Forty-Eight Die From Tuberculosis.
According to its monthly bullentin
just issued there were reported to the
state board of health during the past
month 56 cases and 4S deaths from
tuberculosis; 137 cases and 22 deaths
from typhoid fever; 22 cases and 4
deaths from diptheria; 30 cases and 2
deaths from scarlet fever; 61 cases
and no deaths from smallpox, and 9
cases and 1 death from measles.

Wilbur, aged 15 years, died at the
home of his parents, Mr. and Mrs.
John Wilbur, in Lawrence, from a
dose of carbolic acid, given by mis

sick for some time with typhoid fever,
but was in a fair way to recovery.
The father got up to give the boy his

a bottle containing carbolic acid that
had been used as a disinfectant. Th
dose was not a large one, but the boy
was too weak to survive the effects.
Issues Call for Bank Statement.
State Bank Commissioner John Q.
Royce has issued a call for a state
ment showing the conditions of all
state banks, all private banks and all
trust companies at the close of busi
ness, September 1. The last call was
made in May. The bank deposits
were crawling upward at the tim of
the last statement and everything in
dicated that the financial troubles
were about over. For that reason
here will be considerable increst in
the coming statement.
New Shop at Newton. That New
ton is to continue to be one of the
most important railroad centers on
the main line of the Santa Fe is
brought into evidence more and more
every day. The latest addition that
company has decided to make to its
already numerous facilities there is a
factory for making guard rails, frogs
and switch points for the entire Santa
Fe system east of Albuquerque, in
place of buying this material in the
open market, as heretofore. The build
ing is to be approximately 40x72 fee-v
in size and will be located near the
rail mill. Plans and specifications for
the structure have already been ap
proved and the machinery for making
the material referred to has been or
dered. It is expected that the new
industry will give employment tc
about twenty men.
Orient Shops Big Thing to Wichita.
That the Kansas City, Mexico
Orient Railroad company intends to
begin work on its roundhouse, shops
and other general terminals in Wich
ita within a few months is now as
sured. The plans for the improve
ments to be made there are being
prepared by Mr. Parent, engineer for
the railroad company. When complet
ed the company will be ready to let
a contract for the work. The immens
ity of the general shops of the com
pany being planned for Wichita are
realized after the plans for the hold
ings have been seen. Seven separate
buildings will be erected on the prop
erty of the company on the West Side.
There will be a brick 21-stall round
house, a large machine, blacksmith
and erecting shop, a brick power
house, a brick transfer stable coach,
tank and carpenter shop, a one-story
brick house, a brick oil house and a
300,000-gallon cement resevoir. No es
timate has been made on the cost of
these buildings, but it will be an enor
mous sum of money, as all will be
built substantially. The bonds, re
voted by the city to the railroad com
pany to secure the general shops of
the company, make it necessary for
the railroad company to have these
improvements completed by January
I, 1910.

Arrested for Selling "Phony" Honey.
Under the pure food law artificial

strangers and imediately began manu
facturing honey and peddling it over
town as pure bees honey. They
made the mistake of trying to sll
some of it to A. G. Fike, a pure food

POINTER BY THE PICKPOCKET.
5est Method for the Protection of a
Diamond Stud.
"An acquaintance of mine had a i
meer experience the other day," said j
a man who has not much faith in any- j
j thing. "A short time ago he was ir- j
troduced to a pickpocket by a friend, j
The pickpocket is one of the best in I
the business.
"My friend didn't think anything
more about him, but the other night
he was in e saloon, after he had been
celebrating most of the day. He was
pretty happy and the pickpocket came
'n. My friend had a diamond stud in
bis tie with a screw attachment. The
pickpocket walked up.
" 'You may not remember me,' he
laid, 'but I met you the other night
with so and so. Take a bit of advice
from me. You may lose that shiner
of yours if you're not careful.'
Then the pickpocket looked at the
diamond. He said the screw attach
ment wouldn't stop a good thief from
getting the diamond, but he could fix
It. He fished around in his pockets
and produced a rubber band, which he
tied around the screw.
" 'Now,' he said, 'they can only get
your stone by biting it off.' "
On Trial.

A SIMPLE SAFEGUARD IN BUYING
PAINT.
Everybody should know how simple
and easy it is to avoid all uncertainty
in buying paint materials. There are
many so-called white leads on the
market, which contain chalk, zinc,
barytes, and other cheap adulterants.
Unless the property owner takes ad
vantage of the simple means of pro
tection afforded him by reliable white
lead manufacturers, he runs great risk
of getting an inferior and adulterated

Woman's Directions of Little Help to
Traveling Lawyer.
A New York lawyer was called re
cently to a hamlet in Berks county,
Pennsylvania, in the interest of a
large coal corporation, and now he is:
telling this story on himself:
He was driving along a country road
and feared he might have lost his
bearings. The village he wanted to
reach seemed elusive, so he halted in
front of a farmhouse to make in-
QU1"es; . , .
"Madam, he called out to a broad
i German woman, who stood looking at
j him from beneath a "poke" bonnet,
j "can you tell me how far it is to the
j next village?"
! "Oh, yust a leedle vays," came the
j response.
j "But, my good woman, how far is
' it? Is it two, four, six or eight miles?
That's what I want to know."
"Yah, I tinks so."

Thousands of American women
in our homes are daily sacrificing
their lives to duty.
In order to keep the home neat
and pretty, the children well dressed
and tidy, women overdo. A female
weakness or displacement is often
brought on and they suffer in silence,
drifting along from bad to worse,
knowing well that they ought to
have help to overcome the pains and
aches which daily make life a burden.
It is to these faithful women that

it not only restored the rich man's
health, but saved his soul as well.
For, one day, in the course of busi

Sheer white goods. In fact, any fine
wash goods when new, owe much of
their attractiveness to the way they
are laundered, this being done in a
manner to enhance their textile beau
ty. Home laundering would be equal
ly satisfactory if proper attention was
given to starching, the first essential
being good Starch, which has sufficient
strength to stiffen, without thickening
the goods. Try Defiance Starch and
you will be pleasantly surprised at th&
improved appearance of your work.
